Liverpool to start stadium expansion at Anfield

December 4, 2014

LIVERPOOL, England (AP) — Liverpool will start the $150-million expansion of Anfield early next year after plans to build a new stadium were thwarted in recent years by financial and ownership disputes.

The Premier League club says the addition of 8,500 seats in the Main Stand will take Anfield’s capacity to around 54,000.

Chairman Tom Werner says “we have made more progress in the past two years than in the last decade.”
